I received your book from a friend the other day. It is amazing. I love the recipes, the photos, the information. I have skimmed through most of the book, and next time I’m down, I’ll be sure to get more of your jam. I can’t wait to try some of the recipes. I hope that you have a wonderful holiday and best wishes for the new year. Thanks again for writing a spectacular book.

The book itself is made very well and I’m sure it will last me a long time as I try out the recipes over time.
As an avid amateur photographer I found the pictures to be outstanding.

The tidbits jammed in on the even pages regarding the tidbits were very informative.

There was so much packed in the book that another 53 additional suggestions were added after 132 pages ending with the obvious, “Oh yeah, you can spread it on toast.”

The entire book was quite the education and very informative regarding pairing of jams and marmalade with cheese, wine, food, non-alcoholic drinks and believe it or not, beer.

I chose not to go to college so I can’t attest to what “a college frat party for your mouth” is but I’m looking forward with this newly found knowledge found in Beyond the Bread to partake in “a thoughtful and sophisticated adventure for your (my) palate.”

Jam & Beer Pairing

A crisp beer such as a cream ale or a wheat ale might have background notes of pears or summer berries. In this case, a pear or berry jam would enhance those flavors. From here, you would choose a cheese or food accompaniment appropriate to the setting.

Jam & Wine Pairing

The goal in pairing your wine and Jam is to connect the subtle undertones of the wine with that of your jam and then match the cheese that brings it all together. If your wine has a subtle blackberry flavor then it would be best paired with a jam from the berry category.

Jam & Cheese Pairing

Keep in mind the importance of serving your cheese with it’s accompaniment rather than mixed together. Jam should not be poured over the top of your cheese. You and your guests should be able to enjoy the flavor of the cheese itself, as well as the jam.
